RUGBY League Players' Association boss David Garnsey says a pre-Christmas agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement is solely down to the speed of NRL players accepting the proposal.

Garnsey will today - in conjunction with the NRL - formalise a document for club delegates to take back to their teammates, with the assumption players will make a call before they break next week for Christmas.

"There's sufficient enthusiasm and ability, more to the point because they're in training - they're not spread to the four wings as they might be if they were on leave, (so) that they can (act) relatively quickly," Garnsey said.

"I would hope the players wouldn't need to think about it for huge numbers of days before forming a view.

"Before Christmas is eminently possible, but I don't control that end of it - that's up to the players."

It is believed a hectic week of negotiations has delivered a $5.8 million salary cap for the 2013 season - an increase from the current $5 million, yet short of the players' target of $6.5 million - which includes a minimum wage of $80,000.

Several players have been part of the negotiations, but Garnsey said it was vital all players had a voice.

"We'll be making sure we can get as wide a view as possible from the playing group," Garnsey said.

"I'll be relying on my captains and my club delegates to hold individual meetings with their clubs and discuss the proposal thoroughly with all the players so they can get back to me with a response.

"The ultimate goal here is that every member of the association has a chance to feed his view into what's happening. We're not going to restrict it to a limited group of players to make this call."

Asked for what sort of response he was seeking from each club, Garnsey said: "We're looking for a definite 'yes we approve' or 'no we don't approve' ... there can't be any shades of grey about it."

Garnsey said he would provide a recommendation for the players on the proposal, but declined to comment on what his advice would be.
